Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current MarkBind templates do not have specific use cases for them but are rather to expose users to the features of MarkBind, it may be helpful to create templates for specific use cases to lower the effort needed to get into using MarkBind. One such case could be a course page template for professors.

@itsyme thanks for this idea. Yes, this is an idea worth considering. One factor to consider is the cost of maintaining additional templates. Should be fine, if the benefit outweighs the cost.

Thanks for reading through the issue @damithc! I believe that if the template created is general enough the maintenance of the template should be minimal as course pages across institutions are likely to have a similar structure with only slight variation and are likely to remain rather similar over time (unless there is a radical shift in how courses are taught)

@itsyme the maintenance burden comes from MarkBind's own evolution. When we do a backward-incompatible change to MarkBind, we need to update all templates as well.
